Planning Commission Agenda September 14, 2023
Pursuant to the City Council Meeting Rules adopted by Resolution No. 23976,
members of all Boards and Commissions and the public are reminded that they must
preserve order and decorum throughout the meeting. In that regard, members of all
Boards and Commissions, as well as the public participants are advised that any
delay or disruption in the proceedings or a refusal to obey the orders of the City
Council, Boards and commissions, or their presiding officer constitutes a violation of
these rules.
The City of Riverside is committed to fostering a respectful workplace that requires
all employees and external stakeholders to embrace a culture of transparency and
inclusivity. This includes acceptable behavior from everyone; a workplace that
provides dignity, respect, and civility to our employees, customers, and the public
they serve. City meetings should be a place where all members of our community
feel safe and comfortable to participate. While there could be a high level of emotion
associated with topics on this agenda, the City would like to set the expectation that
all members of the public use language appropriate to a collaborative, professional,
and respectful public environment.
The City is resolute in its commitment to eliminate any form of harassment,
discrimination, or retaliation in the workplace. The City maintains a zero-tolerance
policy for harassment, discrimination, and retaliation in compliance with new
harassment and discrimination laws.

vehicle parking, wall heights, and wall materials - Rezone 0.24 acres of City-owned
property at the southwest corner of Arlington and Indiana Avenues from R-1-7000 -
Single-Family Residential to CR - Commercial Retail to conform with the General
Plan Land Use Designation of C - Commercial - Other minor, non-substantive
changes and technical corrections as required to provide clarity, correct errors, or
remove redundancies. The Planning Division of the Community & Economic
Development Department determined the proposal exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b) (3) (Common

possibility the project will have a significant effect on the environment.
